"When you do big crossovers events, you introduce a new villain. And I like to call them wedding dresses because the villain is introduced and then nobody ever uses them again. This guy is designed not to be that. We’re introducing a villain who we will find out has very integral and important ties to something in the Batman mythos, and we will see him again in present day DC before the end of the year." - Mark Waid

"I don't want to promise that every single magic user in the DC Universe is going to be there because then there will be someone I forget. And if I can forget them, then there's no hope. But a lot of them are players." - Mark Waid

Damian has sneaked to the mainland to find some info about goigns on in with the League of Lazarus, and is surprised, though probably not very, to find Dick, Jason, Steph and Tim all there waiting for him.

Robin War #1

"I don't think you can write comics without trying to reflect what's going on in the real world. I mean, that's kind of our job. I believe we have two jobs we have to do simultaneously: We have to reflect what's going on in the real world and we have to entertain you.
So I wouldn't say it was, like, wanting to go after that. It was more like, we can't write without doing that.
And we wanted to show that this movement, this thing, this idea that Lee Bermejo had, which was brilliant, of all these people being inspired by these Robins, is kind of a double-edged sword. It's inspiring and wonderful, but it's also a bunch of kids on the street trying to do jobs they might not be prepared for. And we wanted to examine whether that was a good thing or bad thing. Not come down on one side of the other. It stays a little bit gray." - Tom King

Light warning for violence.
Now here was a mini-event I was looking forward to. Tom King's first crossover event? That sounds like fun, especially with the previews and small brief bits of info I heard about. However, warning signals went off in my head the moment I saw the amount of people working on the first issue alone...

espanolbotThe 2000s weren't a great time for Batman. True, there were a lot of good stories and creators with a lot of good work at the time, some of which is still influencing work to this day (such as Gotham Central and the Brubaker/Stewart/Cooke Catwoman run), but as for the character himself? ...Well you know how a lot of the bullying behaviour from Silver Age Superman stories can apparently be traced back to one particularly unpleasant editor or something? Same goes for Batman's behaviour in a lot of these stories.

icon_ukMuch of the comic-sphere is abuzz with DC's announcement about what's coming in June after their "Convergence" event ends...
For one thing the "New 52" will no longer be used as a tagline or a concept. (After more than three years, that seems fair enough, it was hardly "New" to begin with... and also, they're down to 49 titles, so it wouldn't even be accurate.
A LOT of info there, and at least one cover scan that I think is worth discussion!
( But then... I would! )

Batman: War Crimes - The Cluemaster

In light of the current storyline going on in Batman Eternal, I thought I'd post a different take on the Cluemaster (also, can one of the mods fix the spelling error in his tag?).

icon_ukAs promised, this is the second mega-posting to celebrate the end of "Dude(s) in Distress Week", dealing with published images... (This is sort of a "Greatest Hits", as much of it has been posted before)
The history of the "Dude in Distress" in graphical literature is a long and noble one... there are probably medieval woodcuts showing that sort of thing, but as that slightly predates most of the usual area of scans_daily, we'll skip to something vaguely more recent... well, relatively speaking.
LOTS of scans under the cut, but I've used smallish thumbnails so as not to kill your broadband completely! Just stun it slightly...
